A permanent structure that facilitates continuity and guarantees orderly conduct in governance is?

A. Bureaucracy
B. public corporation
C. ombudsman
D. political party

Correct Answer:

Option A – Bureaucracy

Explanation

Bureaucracy refers to both a body of non-elective government officials and an administrative policy-making group. Historically, a bureaucracy was a government administration managed by departments staffed with non-elected officials. Today, bureaucracy is the administrative system governing any large institution, whether publicly owned or privately owned. The public administration in many countries is an example of a bureaucracy, but so is the centralized hierarchical structure of a business firm.
